Brewers Get Shutdown By Astros And Oswalt 5-0

After the Milwaukee Brewers played well Tuesday against the Houston Astros I thought we may get another good performance, but it did not happen. Astros ace Roy Oswalt had command of his pitches and cruised to an easy 5-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers who lost another home game which is no shock. Oswalt went 8 innings and only gave up four hits in the win. The Brewers Chris Naverson went only 4 innings giving up 8 hits and four runs to take the loss. Two bright spots for the Brewers were Trevor Hoffman who pitched one scoreless inning and Jeff Suppan pitched two innings of shutout ball.

Ryan Braun collected two hits for the Brewers and was the only Brewer play to do so. The Brewers are now 5-15 at home. That is just plain horrible no two ways about it. I do not know why the Brewers play so bad at home, but they do. Today, the Brewers have Dave Bush pitching  with a 1:10 PM et start time. Hopefully, Dave Bush can give the Brewers some decent innings so the bullpen can get a rest. They have logged many innings already and it is still early in the season.

Trevor Hoffman Will Be Fine Quit Sweating It Brewer Fans

The season so far has not gone well for the Milwaukee Brewers. Right now what could go wrong with the Milwaukee Brewers has. Even the reliable Trevor Hoffman has struggled and whispers have been popping up he should hang it up. I can tell you that Hoffman will get things going. He has been through tough stretches in his career and he will be fine. Trevor Hoffman is approaching 600 saves so when things go wrong he knows how to fix things. Now other pitchers I am not so sure about, but Hoffman I am.

Brewers pitching worries me and if I was Ken Macha I would give the ball to Hoffman as many times as possible. Will he blow some saves? Of course he will. All the good ones do as no one is perfect. Trevor Hoffman is fine and he will be the Brewers save leader at the end of the season. As far as others on the team I am not so sure about how to turn them around. I guess all we can do is hope the other pitchers can figure it out as well.
